There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
On the acoustic, they sound smooth, jazzy, rich, deep, and almost creamy if that makes sense. My only complaint would be that the top B and E strings are semi-bright compare the rich and warm sound of the other strings. Nevertheless are strings blend very well and create an acceptable balance of sound. They have a similar tension to D'addario Chromes which is great for my guitar, but I prefer the sound of these strings one hundred times over the Chromes any day. I've used a slide on these and they work wonderfully. I find that they still produce a loud volume considering they are flat wounds. They are by far my favorite strings for acoustic archtops.
On the electric side, they sound fat, mellow, and vintage. On the bridge pick, I can get Blues, Rockabilly, Rock, Surf, Country, and even a little Boogie Woogie. As for the neck pickup, that is when strings get sultry. I can get a so many tones like traditional jazz, jazz-core, swing, bebop, latin-jazz, soft rock, funk, fusion, etc. The strings are fairly easy to bar, they bar like acoustic strings. On thin electric necks a truss rod adjustment may be needed unless your guitar is used to heavy gauges. They may be monel but they pick up as loud as Nickel wrapped Rotos. Now that I have had them on my electric for months I can say that they maintain their volume and tension vary well. All in all a great string at lower price than TI's and much better quality than Chromes. I'm not big on writing reviews, BUT this is product deserved one.
The caveat is that you may run into intonation issues. I have the saddle on the 6th string all the way back and the saddle on the 4th string all the way forward (and flipped) and I can't quite get the intonation as close as I'd like. My guitar has an ABR-1 style bridge and I believe Nashville bridges have a longer throw. I like the strings so much, I might convert to Nashville-style just so I can keep using these strings.
They ‘Ok’, although that B string has that bit of a tinny twang like a cheaper string.
They are on the guitar now so I’ll use for a while.
I’d not get this brand again though
